8 The eye of the spiteful man is wicked, and he averts his face and despises his own soul.
9 The eye of the greedy man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity. He will not be satisfied until he has consumed his own soul, withering it away.
10 An evil eye is directed at evil things. And he will not be satisfied by bread; instead, he will be needy and grieving at his own table.
11 Son, if you have anything, do good to yourself, and offer worthy oblations to God.
12 Remember that death has not been delayed, and that the covenant of the grave has been revealed to you. For the covenant of this world will pass away in death.
13 Do good to your friend before you die. And according to your ability, extend your hand and give to the poor.
14 Do not cheat yourself out of a good day, and do not let the smallest good gift pass you by.
